Prysm Note for fitness routines
Fitness routines fail when they are treated as individual tasks to schedule. What holds is a small number of fixed sessions in the week, tracked as habits, with the plan written down once.
What matters here
- Sessions as recurring items or habits
- A note with the current programme
- A weekly check on what actually happened
- Rest days planned, not skipped
- Progress recorded in a few numbers
Write the programme down
A note with the sessions, the exercises and the progression rule. Deciding what to do at the gym is friction that compounds on tired days.
Track the habit, not every rep
Marking that a session happened is enough for consistency. Detailed logs are useful for a programme that requires them, and a burden for one that does not.
Adjusting without quitting
When a week goes badly, reduce sessions rather than abandoning the plan. A two session week is still a week that happened.

- Prysm Note for quarterly planningA quarter is long enough to finish something and short enough to remember. Pick a few outcomes, place them on the timeline and review monthly.
- Keeping one notes file on the desktopA single text file on the desktop is the oldest personal knowledge system there is. It is fast to open and starts to hurt around a few hundred lines.
